What is the best reason for a prospective student to choose your school?

"Do I talk about the times I paint my face and loudly cheer at the basketball games? Or the times my professor walks me through a difficult problem step by step on HuskyCT the night before a difficult exam? What I usually mention is the university's profound effort to help and provide for the students. They listen to the needs and wishes of the students, such as offering 300 clubs and organizations to help a student be involved in almost anything that interests him/her, or providing residential learning communities, First Year Experience classes and student mentors/tutors to help students adjust to college life after high school. To answer the question, I simply say I love it."

Jeff Ticehurst, Class of 2009

"Because we're a good value and because we're getting even better. Exciting things are happening on our campuses, and we're going places. UConn is regarded as the best public university in New England—and among the top 25 public universities in the nation. And the proof is in our graduates: 94% are either employed or have gone on to graduate or professional school."

Michael J. Hogan, President
